What is going on with the cape over his left shoulder? It looks really bad (especially on the angry portrait), not the typical XM quality we are used to. Surprised this photo was actually put up with the PO page.

I have to agree; the angry portrait is really bad.

And it is remarkable how much the regular portrait looks like Ben Affleck.

What's wrong with his cape?

Well, he was remarkable as Batman. I think.

The biggest issue for me is seeing part of the key underneath. It seems to not sit completely flush with his body. Maybe a poor fit?

The other issue is the sculpt and/or paint on the left side of the cape. Seems very rough or poorly painted, not sure which.

I know this is only a prototype, but I'm still surprised that these pictures are up with the PO. If you look at some of the pics that Grumpy posted up above, the cape is a lot smoother on his left shoulder. Can't quite tell about the key though.

Honestly, I expected a lot more from XM. Hoping they step it up for the classic 1/6 Superman.

I never took a liking to this one. Love the new SS and Tweeterhead Supes, but I find this one ho-hum.

Agreed. After the XM Joker and Wonder Woman, I was excited to see what they were going to do. This is not what I was expecting.
